MINNEAPOLIS SOCIETY.

Socially the signs of summer begin to APP
pear. The post-Lenten season is always short
and always variable. Should the cold weather
continue late, parties and dances may be en-
joyed till June, but at the earliest possible
moment the ladies don pretty afternoon
dresses and seek their recreation on the lawn.
The rains of the past week have given indoor
amusements an extra lease of life, but with
May will come sunshine, and no one who has
spent twelve-month i'll Minnesota needs but
little encouragement to make dancing intol-
cradle.
~
There have been several very pleasant
social events during the week just passed.
Notable among these may be mentioned Mrs.
Courtlandt Babcock's reception, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank l.. Stetson's tenth wedding ami
versary and Prof. Malcolm's ninth annual re-
ception to his adult classes. Prof. Malcolms
reception was an especially enjoyable dane
ing party, and closed the season of the dane
ing academy. This was one of the social
signs of summer referred to in the last para
graph. Another the first migration ito Min
netonka, which will occur the coming Tues
day.
~
Two years ago a lady and gentleman went
to Minnetonka about the 1st of May to choose
a site for a summer cottage, which was
erected during that season. They were so
charmed by the early spring beauty of the
lake ana IT'S WOODED shores That they then
determined to spend every subsequent May
at their summer home. There is beauty in
the budding of trees. the blooming of spring
flowers and the first notes of the returning
birds, which the most prosaic soul cannot
ignore. The effect on the mind is indefinable,
but always pleasant, and these pioneers of the
summer immigrants will find a world of
pleasure during the bright May days, pleas
ure none the less because enjoyed in solitude,
~
''Tis the welcome April showers, which will
make the sweet May flowers So runs an
old school song, and the promise it expresses
has made the rains of the past week bearable.
Every engagement that was made the past
week has had coupled with it the proviso, 'if
it don't rain" Let US hope that sunshine
will rule the next seven days. and il it does
so the woods will be all bright with
wild flowers and the swamps will
be golden with marsh.marigolds. The
spring flowers of Minnesota are very delicate
and beautiful. Already the little anemonies,
showing every tint from white to deep pink,
have appeared in sunny woodlands. Blood
roots show their pure white, starry flowers;
isopyrum, one of the most delicatey lovely of
all spring flowers, abounds. Even the violets
are beginning to show their pretty blue bios :
sons, and soon will come the yellow bells and
columbine and fern. These are the days,
when the sun shines brightly, to go to the
woods.

A Very Superior Maid.
Boston Letter,

A lady living on the Back Bay has one
of those servants to whom is Justly to be
applied the term superior" in its most
elevated meaning. While the Paint. and
Clay Club exhibition of paintings was oren
this superior ynunss v~oraon INFORMED her
mistress that she had a ticket, and re-
quested a special evening out in order to
attend the show. For aught know the
contrary it may have been the evening of
the opening reception, when L am sure
the servant element was pretty generous
ly represented; but at least the fact re-
mains that at one time or another the
girl saw the exhibition. On her return
home she sought her mistress at the first
opportunity.
'Here," she said, extending her ticket,
which CHANGED to be season." you must,
go and see those pictures. 1t is the finest
exhibition I ever saw. You'd better go
right off, because / shall want to use the
ticket again myself"
Her mistress has keen sense of humor.
She took the ticket, invited her most arts
tocratic acquaintance, and visited the ex-
hibitiOn on the girls ticket. 1t certainly
seems as if there was small danger of d
decline in Boston culture while the SER
wants thus watch over the intellectual
good of their employers.

This Generation and the Last.
From the Boston Courier.

There is more philosophy in brief
conversation which was repeated to the
editor of the Conrier recently than In
many volume upon hereditary and in
herited tendencies. An old lady was re-
monstrating with her niece, an under
vitalized, nervous child, about her lack of
energy, and holding up for her emula-
ton the awful vigor of her ancestors.
"Why. your grandmother" the aunt
said, "had baby born in the morning,
and in the afternoon she went up to the
attic and brought down her fax-wheel
into the back chamber and spun a hank
of linen"
II dare say she did, Aunt Lois,'' was the
inyalid's response; 'and l have to pay for
it. If grandmother had taken decent
care of herself her grandchildren might
have strength enough to rise up and cal
her blessed. AS it is, feel myself very
much more like cursing her for iu-iudged
energy"

I spelled it again.

I spelled it again.
"Hey?"
I yelled it at the top of my lungs.
My friend was evidently beginning to
suffer. I could hear articles of Office
furniture changing places with violence.
Then he rung me up again sharply.
"B-r-r-r-r!'

with fearful distinctness:
II am going out-for-a- walk-you-
go sB-n-R-R-R." hire-a hall-snap!"

rang him up furiously. He returned
and couched his remarks in language
which would not look well, except in very
fine print, but the substance was an in
Titation for me to GO to a certain place
where the only merit the Iclimate t:possss-
ses is that it never changes the year
round. I begged him to stay and hear
me. I told him it was most important he
should meet me-we would lose millions
if he failed-all in vain. My only res
ponse was hollow, hooking laugh, fol-
lowed by the sound of frying, as though
I were connected with the Astor House
kitchen about the hour the orders for
fiapiacks are coming in.
The clerk then said it would be 10 cents.
1 wanted to know what would be Is
cents.
He said that was the regular price for
talking through the telephone.
L said I hadn't talked half way through
it.
He said that made no difference to
him.
1 said il made lofty sight of differ
ence to me.
Then we had a few words which led to
little misunderstanding. SOmestimes,
especially when he was on top, he would
almost convince me that the tariff was
low considering the advantages of the
service, and then, again, when / had a
good grip on his ear with my teeth, he
was nearly willing to concede 1 had hard
got the worth of my money.
Finally disinterested men in blue clothes
dubbed together and reconciled Us, and
I went home.
The public telephone station, repeat,
is one of the most useful adiuncts to
civilization we have, but I would suggest
if it remains with US, that the company
either tune up the instruments occasion
ally or furnish the clerks who run them
with a cast-iron spring suit.

The Best Time to Battle.
London Lancet.


It is best to battle just before going to
bed, as any danger of catching cold is
thus avoided, and the complexion is i'm
proved by keeping warm for several
hours after leaving the bath. A couple
of pounds of bran put into thin bag
and then in the bath-tub is excellent for
softening the skin. 1t should be left to
soak in small quantity of water for a
couple of hours before being used. The
internal aids to a clear complexion are
most of them we'll known, and the pres
ent season is the best for thorough
cleansing and purifying of the blood. The
old-fashioned remedy of sulphur and mo-
lasses is considered among the best.
Charcoal powdered and taken with water
is said to be excellent, but it is difficult to
take. A strictly vegetable and fruit diet
is followed by many for one or two weeks.
